This volume contains the record of hearings before the Committee on Labor of the U.S. House of Representatives regarding old-age pensions. It provides valuable insight into the early discussions and considerations surrounding the establishment of social security and retirement systems in the United States. As a primary source document, it offers a firsthand look at the concerns, arguments, and perspectives of legislators and stakeholders during this formative period of social policy development.

Researchers and students of social welfare, labor history, and political science will find this historical record invaluable for understanding the evolution of social safety nets and the ongoing debates about providing for the elderly. The "Old-Age Pensions" hearings capture a pivotal moment in American history, reflecting the changing attitudes toward labor, aging, and the role of government in ensuring economic security.
